It’s actually really exciting to see the process of Kentaro Miura becoming much more thoughtful about the characters and the themes he’s trying to convey. This volume is a bit less focused on action and combat (although there is plenty of that) and a bit more on the characters and the relationships between them, in particular the one between Guts and Griffith. I’m around chapter ~200-ish, which as far as I know is the last kind of major Questionable scene of sexual violence, but 200 chapters is just SO much to ask of anyone.

Enlisting Jerome and Nina's help, Isidro uses a makeshift pulley system to free Casca as she was about to be burned alive. In 2002, Kentaro Miura received the second place in the Tezuka Osamu (Astro Boy) Cultural Prize of Excellence for Berserk. Already really enjoyed the first three volumes but volumes 4-6 got me completely invested in the story. Kentaro Miura’s Berserk has cast its enormous shadow for three decades, creating an international legion of acolytes and inspiring a parade of TV series, feature films, and video games.
